The Official Hüsker Dü Thread
 

I finally got Husker Due's Everything falls apart and more cd! it is Great stuff!!! Bob mould is the origional founder of the punk genre... and his lyrics and the bands way of breaking down the barrers of that time is amazing. I however, have never met any one else with the same apreciation for this truely great band if anyone else is a fan let me know.

It's Husker Du

sorry for my ignorant mis-spelling, formally apolagizing however spelling was never my strong suit. Still M.i.c. and Do you remember are just two great out-comings of this band. Husker Du... is one of those bands that even lame over popularized, wanna be punk groups like Green Day claim tribute to. I think they've oped many doors without effort and I'd take my hat off to them any day!"

Just imagine how much you`d like them if you`d heard one of their good albums

Good albums? which would you consider they're best? I personally love them all from Candy Apply Grey to New day rising I just love the band for everything they have done.

I like husker du alot but i have a bad headach so i cant tyope more

Has anyone heard Land Speed Records? I just got it, and it's one furious document of hard-core punk. It lacks the melody and mind-blowyness of their later records (or, specifically, Zen Arcade), but it's still a great fun punk record.

zen arcade was decent. i havent heard alot of there stuff but the stuff i did hear was dicent. ive heard alot better.

I don't know of all that many records that rank higher than Zen Arcade in my book, but hey, to each his own.

can you recomend some other stuff of theres. or maybe a band that sounds like them?

I think John Lydon would probably disagree with you there mate.

....and Lydon is?
Neither of them are.

Never said he was.

It just seemed like you we're implying it.

so why did you mention him then? You may as well have pulled an artist out at random, such as bob dylan or billy joe, if you weren't implying anything.

or prince

No, because Billy Joel and Dylan have nothing to do with Punk.
I don't care what anyone says Johnny Rotten is an authority on the history and true sentiment of Punk.

And don't knock Prince:finger:

Please tell me you were making a joke, You do know who John Lyndon is...right?

OH! They didn't know that John Lydon and Johnny Rotten are the same person?!:laughing:

I'm pretty sure they did.

John Lydon hardly started punk rock.

No, of course i dont know who he is I dont know a single thing about punk.

Well, why did you say

"and lydon is..."

Like I've already said; 'I never said that.'

But what I did say was; 'Johnny Rotten is an authority on the history and true sentiment of Punk.'

Bob Mould is God. I must say I do appreciate me Zen Arcade... To THE MAX!!!11

I was responding to bungalowbill, not you.

I agree that Rotten is an authority on punk, but he's also living proof that punk is dead. He became so completely disillusioned with what happened to punk that he completely detached himself from it. See PiL.

That's not really a bad thing considering PiL are fucking way better than the Sex Pistols were.

I prefer most post-punk to punk. Both have their merits, but in the end post-punk just does it for me.

BUMP!

I listened to Zen Arcade. What an immense album, that last song is insane. I suppose thhis is their best, yeah?

I recommend Bob Mould's band, Sugar. Both Copper Blue and File Under Easy Listening are great albums

I also enjoy Sugar but they don't lay a finger on most things Husker Du produced. I think no Grant Hart makes Sugar just that little bit behind Husker Du in terms of quality, still a great band though.

bump.

Great band. Anyone who doesn't love Zen Arcade has no soul.

I need to hear Grant Harts Nova Mob.

I just never get around to it for some reason.

I even had their Last Days Of Pompei album on order but they sold out & refunded me :(

I finally got Last Days... I'm uploading and listening to it right now.

'tis Goot!

Oh well done that man :clap:

I finally got The Living End... the live versions of Land Speed Records and Warehouse Songs and Stories songs tend to be better to than the originals. Awesome.

Don't skip the Metal Circus EP - it's excellent.

God I love It's Not Funny Anymore

I just got Zen Arcade, and I am hoping it is really good. It influenced a lot of good artists so I can imagine it won't be bad. I just hope it won't be like The Velvet Underground where I can appreciate it, but it is hard for me to listen to.

Husker Du, The Replacements, Flipper etc is what I would call Alternative Rock. When people apply the term to Angels and Airwaves and 30 To Seconds To Mars I want to fight them.

Anyways, Zen Arcade makes it into my top 10.:bowdown:
